That night, while Ling Buyi was still guarding Tingwei's mansion, the people sent by Ling Buyi to Xinghua Villa had already taken action.
In fact, the defense of Xinghua Villa is not bad. It is much better than the residences of ordinary officials in the capital. After all, in addition to the black-armored guards arranged by Ling Buyi, Cui You also sent some people here. Come.
But the problem is that Ling Yi's people are too familiar with this place and know where the specific guards will be. Ling Buyi was also careless. He didn't expect that Ling Yi would become so crazy that he didn't adjust the defense here.
Therefore, under the targeted attack by Ling Yi's men, the guards guarding the Xinghua Garden outside the courtyard suffered heavy losses in an instant, and they were soon allowed to break into the garden.
Fortunately, their resistance was quite tenacious. Even though they were at an extreme disadvantage, they still made a huge noise and served as a warning to the people in Bieyuan.
With the time to prepare, the guards in the Bieyuan finally managed to hold on to the situation, but the situation was still not good.
At this time, Zhang Yi, the guard leader of Xinghua Villa, quickly asked the maid to help Huo Junhua out, escorted him to the main hall, and summoned a group of guards to retreat to the main hall to shrink while fighting. After all, in the building of Xinghua Villa , the main hall serves as a solid place.
By the way, they also lit a small attic on the periphery, used beacon fire and smoke to warn people in the distance and asked for help, and asked a few skilled people to rush out to find Ling Buyi and Cui You.
No way, the location of Xinghua Villa is still too remote. There are not many mansions of dignitaries in the surrounding area, and there are no forbidden troops stationed there to take refuge.
Furthermore, he still didn't know who was attacking Xinghua Villa, and he didn't dare to take Huo Junhua away rashly, fearing that he would be ambushed on the road.
Therefore, we can only think of ways to rely on the walls and courtyards of Xinghua Villa to resist, and hope that the reinforcements can hold out until the reinforcements arrive.
But at this time, he heard another bad news. It was said that Huo Junhua was going crazy and did not listen to the maid at all. He was still in the hospital without moving.
There was no other way, so Zhang Yi had no choice but to take two people there in person. After all, the situation was too critical now. Even if he was tied up, he had to tie Huo Junhua to the main hall first.
At first, he wanted to persuade him with a few words, but he didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, Huo Junhua's reaction became even more excited when he saw that he was covered in blood, and he began to yell, and in his words Repeatedly telling Ling Yi to die.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to step forward and slap Huo Junhua on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious, and then let the maid drag her to follow him.
After arriving at the main hall, Zhang Yi immediately worried about setting up defenses, but at this time the battle situation was no longer so anxious, and he even found that the enemy's offensive was no longer so strong.
At first, he thought it was a trap set by the enemy. He wanted him to think that he had escaped, so that he could relax his vigilance so that they could seize the flaw and strike.
Therefore, I have been busy cheering up my subordinates, telling them that support is on the way, and to continue to persevere.
It wasn't until he saw that the enemy hadn't moved at all that he truly believed that the enemy had indeed stopped.
Although he didn't know the reason, since he had free time, he also started to let people take turns to bandage and rest to build up strength.
At this time, Zhang Yi had time to ask the maid: "Hasn't the lady been fine during the day? Why did she suddenly fall ill just now? Do you know the reason?"
The maids shook their heads after hearing this, and only one old woman replied: "My lady was fine before, but until the sound of fighting outside started, my lady felt something was wrong.
Then when she saw the fire in the courtyard, she felt completely sick. Perhaps she remembered what happened in Gucheng and felt that this scene looked familiar. "
After hearing this, Zhang Yi felt that it was indeed possible. After all, this old woman was the one who had served Huo Junhua for the longest time. She must know her better than others, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, outside the Xinghua Villa, a group of killers who had just been attacking inside gathered together in twos and threes. Instead of attacking inside, they moved up flammable beams and blocked the main hall. Surrounded.
Because their purpose is
It was not to kill Huo Junhua, but to use this matter to transfer Ling Buyi out of Tingwei Mansion.
Now that there has been a big commotion here and someone rushed out to report the news, there is no need for them to attack again and cause more casualties to themselves.
At this time, many people in the capital had already noticed this place. After all, it was hard not to pay attention due to the flames soaring into the sky.
Among them are Tingwei Mansion and Cui Mansion, and compared to others, they are particularly sensitive to this location. After all, no one cares about Xinghua Villa more than them.
After Cui You noticed the situation, he immediately summoned the servants in the mansion and ran to Xinghua Villa with the tools to put out the fire.
At this time, he only thought it was an accidental fire and did not think that someone was attacking Xinghua Villa, because when he thought about it, Huo Junhua had been resting in Xinghua Villa for more than ten years.
She rarely leaves in between, so no one should attack her.
It wasn't until Cui You met someone who came to report from Xinghua Villa on the way, that he learned that Xinghua Villa had been attacked, and the defense line was retreating steadily.
At that moment, he was all anxious, wishing he could just put on his wings and fly over, but after all, he still had a trace of reason in his mind.
Knowing that he was in a hurry to put out the fire, his men didn't even bring weapons, so they couldn't save anyone if they just went there.
But it would be a waste of time to go back to the mansion to get it, so he started thinking about other people.
After all, from here to Xinghua Villa, we passed by the mansions of several aristocratic families. Their families had no shortage of weapons, and they could also borrow some people to use them.
So Cui You turned around and ordered his men to continue marching, while he left the large group of people and went ahead, knocking on the door of the house to borrow weapons and weapons.
Not to mention, Cui You is still very good at playing both sides, and he is very popular among the families in the capital.
So although we can't expect others to help us out of their pockets, we can still provide some support to some extent, especially in the name of putting out fires.
However, it took time to gather manpower, so Cui You always led people to deliver the borrowed weapons to his family, then left a message for them to prepare and went straight to Xinghua Villa.
Cui You walked all the way here, and the closer he got to Xinghua Villa, the more people he had in his hands.
On Ling Buyi's side, when he first saw the fire in the direction of Xinghua Villa, he was also worried and a little regretful.
Because he knew Ling Yi's situation better than Cui You, so he immediately thought of Ling Yi sending people to attack Xinghua Villa.
At that moment, he had the urge to lead people to Xinghua Villa, but when he thought of Peng Kun, he unconsciously stopped and fell into a tangle.
After all, Ling Yi has finally been forced to this point by himself. As long as Peng Kun confesses, he can bring Ling Yi to justice.
But once he takes people away, there will inevitably be loopholes in the defense of Tingwei Mansion. If something happens to Peng Kun, the plan he has been planning for many years may come to nothing, and he will no longer be able to let Ling Yi's evil deeds be revealed to the world.
The two brothers Liang Qiu, who were standing next to Ling Buyi, also understood the tangle in their young master's heart.
Liang Qiuqi said: "Young lord, why don't I take a few people over to investigate first, maybe something happened to Xinghua Villa."
Ling Buyi had not yet made a decision in his mind, so he nodded and said: "Okay, you take people to go and have a look first. No matter whether there is something wrong with Xinghua Villa, you must pass the news back."
[In view of the general environment,
After Liang Qiu got the order, he hurriedly walked outside Tingwei's mansion and happened to bump into Yuan Shen who was rushing over.
Yuan Shen saw Liang Qiu walking in a hurry and asked curiously: "Little General Liang Qiu, where are you going?"
Liang Qiuqi was also anxious at this time, but he didn't want to be too rude to Yuan Shen, so he could only stop and reply: "My young master saw a fire in the direction of Xinghua Villa and ordered me to take people over to take a look. Now Time is urgent, so I won’t say more to you.”
After saying that, he gave a salute
, and left quickly.
Yuan Shen also knew who lived in Xinghua Villa, so he could understand Liang Qiuqi's anxiety.
But after Liang Qiu left, Yuan Shen's bad premonition became even stronger. After all, it was too coincidental that a fire broke out two days in a row.
Especially after confirming that it is the direction of Xinghua Villa, this becomes more targeted.
At that moment, he went straight to Ling Buyi's place, wanting to see Ling Buyi's reaction, and then he saw Ling Buyi frowning, standing on the pavilion and staring in the direction of the fire.
He didn't even notice Yuan Shen's arrival, and only woke up after Liang Qiufei prompted him.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shen took the initiative and said: "If General Ling is so worried, why don't you take someone to go back and have a look in person? I will take the lead here first."
Ling Buji heard the words and refused: "I'm not sure yet whether it's the Xinghua Villa, let alone whether someone did it deliberately. Maybe it's the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
In this case, once I leave, the enemy will definitely launch an assassination attempt on Peng Kun, and you may not be able to handle it then. "
Yuan Shen replied: "If it is true that the tiger is driven away from the mountain, then it is probably not safe to come to the Xinghua Villa at this time. How can General Ling really sit here!"
It would be better to send a message to the Yuan Mansion and ask Zi Yang to bring someone over. With him here to guard, I think Zicheng should be able to rest assured about this. "
After hearing Yuan Shen's proposal, Ling Buyi began to weigh it in his mind. It seems that he still trusts Li Hao's ability.
But in his heart, he didn't want to leave Peng Kun in the hands of others, because it would make him very uneasy.
But considering the current situation, for the sake of safety, he agreed and asked Yuan Shen to send someone to notify Li Hao to come as soon as possible.
Anyway, even if nothing happens to Xinghua Villa, the most it would be is for Li Haobai to make a trip, which is not a big deal.
After Yuan Shen agreed, he went downstairs to notify Yuan Wo, asking him to send people to Yuan Mansion quickly, inform Li Hao of the situation here, and ask Li Hao to bring people over as soon as possible.
But before Li Hao could get the news, Liang Qiuqi returned to Tingwei Mansion with the person who came from Xinghua Villa to report the news.
After Ling Buyi confirmed that Xinghua Villa was under attack and was in danger, his thoughts on rescuing Huo Junhua finally gained the upper hand.
After all, this woman named mother, who is actually his aunt, is his only blood relative in this world. Even if he is bent on revenge, he cannot ignore her safety.
Ling Buyi immediately ordered the black-armored guards to be summoned, and asked Yuan Shen to come and tell him something.
It was naturally impossible to hide such a big movement here from Yuan Shen, so he quickly appeared in front of Ling Buyi.
"Xinghua Villa is being attacked by the enemy. My aunt's situation is unknown now. I can't sit idly by and do nothing. I can only leave the situation here to you first. I will leave some of the black armor guards for you, and Aqi will also leave some help. you.
It will take time for Ziyang to come over. As long as you hold on until he comes, you'll be fine. Ling Buyi said to Yuan Shen.
Yuan Shen replied: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Peng Kun."
Ling Busu nodded slightly after hearing this, but he really didn't have much confidence in his heart. However, after the manpower gathering was completed, he still led the team to rescue Xinghua Villa.
As soon as Ling Buyi left, Liang Qiuqi asked, "Master Yuan, what should we do next?"
Yuan Shen thought for a while and said: "Now that we have insufficient troops, it is meaningless to defend such a large place. Instead, it will be full of loopholes.
He shrunk the people into several courtyards near Peng Kun's residence and waited for help. Zi Yang knew the importance and wouldn't let us wait for a long time. "
Liang Qiuqi had no objection to this. After all, in this case, there was no problem in shrinking the troops. They did not need to persist for long anyway.
Although it is a stupid way to use people to waste time, it is really effective if you can't stand it.
But before they could fully adjust, the killers who had been ambushing outside began to attack.
These people press
According to Ling Yi's request, he hid around Tingwei's mansion early, and waited until Ling Buyi walked away before he had an attack.
This attack was different from the last assassination. At that time, Ling Yi still had some concerns and didn't want to make the matter too big.
But at this time, Ling Yi had reached the stage of fighting to the death, so he completely let himself go and took out all the bows and crossbows that he had hidden in the past.
The combat effectiveness shown this time was much stronger than the last assassination attempt, and he was able to cut a bloody path through the defenses set up by Yuan Shen and Liang Feiqi.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Liang Fei immediately took the lead and rushed forward with the people around him, hoping to interrupt the enemy's offensive.
Yuan Shen also tried his best to mobilize troops and horses, trying to stop the enemy at every level.
But the effect was very lacking. In the end, they were killed and they rushed directly into the courtyard where Peng Kun was.
By this time, the emotions of both sides had reached their peak. After all, they were already very close to their goal, so around the door where Peng Kun was, the fight between the two sides became even more anxious, refusing to give in an inch.
But in the end, under the attack of the killers at all costs, the defenders in front of the door were still unable to hold on, allowing several killers to rush in and chop off the heads of the people lying on the bed.
Although all subsequent killers were strangled, in terms of results, as the people inside the door shouted that Peng Kun was dead, and the killer outside the door responded and spread the voice, Yuan Shen ultimately failed.
